Two lovers in the moonlight walked,

They could not court at all.
At length In wrath Adonis rose,
To stop the monsters rants;
Alas. across the wall he fell,
And slil his beautiful pants.
And rose the fair Belinda's shrieks.
Beneath the Summer moon;
And sad Adonis cussed the hour
When he went out 10 spoon.
Then got him up the youthful Tom,
tHe was BelindR's brother;
He caught the cat, and by the tau

A Wonderful Discovery.

W. M. Lee, the well-known fruit
grower of Tacoma, gives the particu-
lars of wonderful discovery of bones
of extinct animals in Washington
territory which attract the attention of
students of natural history and
archaeology all over the world. In
letter to the Ledger from Spokane
Falls he says:
THE face of the whole territory
shows unmistakable evidence Of great
volcanic upheavals. On my trip through
Spokane county l stopped at Latah,
and i'll conversation with Mr.. COplen
of that place regarding the volcanic
formation of that section he informed
me that he had examined some large
bones of great antiquity. Accompanied
by Mr.. Coplen l went to the spring
where the relics were dug out. 1t is
located on low strip of springy
prairie. The excavation around the
spring is twelve or fifteen feet deep
and thirty or forty across. The bones
were covered by several distinct
layers.
1.-The first layer was ancient peat
then gravel, then volcanic ashes,
then a layer of coarse peat.
From this spring were taken no less
than nine elephants, of different sizes,
the remains of a cave bear, hyenas,
extinct birds, and a sea-turtle. The
dimensions of some of the bones of the
larger mammoth were wonderful to
look at. The horns were sort of tusk
and protruded from the head just be-
low the eyes, extending downward
below the jaws partially resting on the
ground, giving support to the head,
which is estimated to have weighed a
ton.
1.-The horns were worn away several
inches deep at the bottom of the turn,
or half circle, indicating constant use
by rubbing on the ground or rocks.
One of these horns was ten feet and
one inch long, and twenty-four
inches iu circumference. 1t weighed
145 pounds. One of the tusks
measured twelve feet and nine inches
i'll length and twenty-seven inches
around. 1t weighed 295 pounds. The
jaw weighed siXty-three pounds. The
mOlar teeth weighed eighteen pounds
each. Some of the ribs were eight
feet long. The pelvic arch was six
feet across, and an ordinary man
could walk erect through this opening.
This huge and antique monster was
eighteen feet and six inches high, and
was estimated to weigh twenty tons"

Some Wise Women.

A poor clergyman died and left a
widow and two daughters. One of
these daughters was an invalid and
the other became the mainstav of the
little family. Like too many girls,
she had received a general but super
fetal education, which did not qualify
her to teach anything. She had no

maker. What could she do? Acct

An important question came to the front
in meeting of colored Christians in New
York the other day, when brother asked
what warrant there was for the fact that
angels were always painted as white and the
devil as back. He believed that there were
black as we'll as white angels, and he was
more than half in clined to believe that the
devil was a white man. 1t is evident that
the people who are looking around for some
